1d • $228,700 - $280,900 • Remote

About The Position

Babylist is looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead a set of cross-product engineering teams responsible for foundational systems that impact every customer experience across the product. This role exists at a pivotal moment. As Babylist continues to grow, we need a leader who can bring clarity to ambiguous problems, align stakeholders across the business, and help teams make smart investments in the shared capabilities that power multiple products. You'll oversee the Account Foundations team, Frontend Platform team, and a Special Projects team focused on solving high-impact challenges that don't fit neatly into a single product area. You'll lead a team of engineers, partner closely with Product, Design, and Executive Leadership, and help shape both the technical direction and operating model for some of Babylist's most strategically important work. This is a role for someone who enjoys building the path while walking it—creating leverage for teams across the company while delivering meaningful customer impact.

Requirements

• 5+ years experience leading multiple engineering teams through ambiguity — you can bring focus, alignment, and momentum when the path forward isn't obvious
• Engineering leader who thrives in cross-cutting product environments — you enjoy solving problems that create leverage for dozens of teams and millions of customer interactions
• Skilled at building strong partnerships with executive stakeholders — you translate technical tradeoffs into business decisions and earn trust at every level
• Able to grow high-performing teams through coaching, clear expectations, and thoughtful delegation — your impact scales through the people around you
• Comfortable leading the development of consumer-facing products and platforms at scale — you balance long-term technical health with delivering meaningful customer outcomes
• Builder-minded and resourceful — when the right tool doesn't exist, you're willing to create it, automate it, or rethink the process entirely
• Genuinely excited about what AI can do - not just as a concept, but as something you want to get your hands on. At Babylist, every team uses AI daily, and we're looking for people who lean in.

Nice To Haves

• If your strongest preference is operating within a narrowly defined roadmap and established playbook, this role will feel frustrating — helping create clarity is part of the job

Responsibilities

• Define and drive the technical direction for foundational systems that support experiences across Babylist.
• Lead, coach, and develop engineers and engineering managers across the Account Foundations, Frontend Platform, and Special Projects teams.
• Collaborate closely with senior leaders to align technical investments with company priorities and long-term strategy.
• Guide teams through complex architectural choices, balancing scalability, maintainability, and customer impact.
• Lead exploratory and high-priority initiatives from concept through execution, helping turn promising ideas into tangible outcomes.
• Establish clear processes, communication patterns, and accountability mechanisms that help teams move quickly and effectively.
• Build systems, practices, and capabilities that enable multiple product teams to deliver better experiences for customers.

Benefits

• Competitive salary with equity and bonus opportunities
• Company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Retirement savings plan with company matching and flexible spending accounts
• Generous paid parental leave and PTO
• Remote work stipend to set up your office
• Perks for physical, mental, and emotional health, parenting, childcare, and financial planning
